Astro2020: From Stars to Compact Objects: The Initial-Final Mass Relation
Jessica R. Lu, Casey Lam, Will Dawson +5
One of the key phases of stellar evolution that remains poorly understood is stellar death. We lack a predictive model for how a star of a given mass explodes and what kind of remn…
Primordial Black Hole Microlensing: The Einstein Crossing Time Distribution
Jessica R. Lu, Casey Y. Lam, Michael Medford +2
Gravitational microlensing is one of the few means of finding primordial black holes (PBHs), if they exist. Recent LIGO detections of 30 Msun black holes have re-invigorated the se…
Number Density of Peaks in a Chi-Squared Field
Jolyon K. Bloomfield, Stephen H. P. Face, Alan H. Guth +3
We investigate the statistics of stationary points in the sum of squares of Gaussian random fields, which we call a "chi-squared" field. The behavior of such a field at a point…
